Re: TSI and fragrance


From: Jpwflowers@aol.com

Hi Lana and all, we haven't gotten our TSI yet but suspect it's coming soon.  

Brian Wendel of Ossian,Indiana, made a list of siberians registered as 
fragrant and we have been corresponding about fragrance for a couple of 
weeks.  They are:
Adelia Galas  Galas '98
Arbee  Wood '89
Brian Ray  Hahn '95
Bridal Jig  S/S '93
Carmen Jeanne  Helsley '93
Cleeton Moon  Hewitt '83 (40chromosome)
Cleeton Tiger  Hewitt '83 (40chromosome)
Festival Prelude  Helsley '92
Heather's Gem  Lucas'94
Illini Valor  Varner '92
Janet K. Merrill  Briscoe '84
Jaybird  Hager '82
Just Because  S/S '94
Little Papoose Varner '92
Mabel Coday  Helsley '80
Precious Illini  Varner '87
Roy Bohrer  Briscoe '86
Twilight Thoughts  Helsley '90
Salamander Crossing  S/S '99

To this list I would add Rosseline  Hewitt (28 chromosome not introduced), 
and a fluffy white seedling of ours from Careless Sally, Forrest McCord and 
Isabelle, that has the smell of oranges and that might be introduced in a 
couple of years.  

Any other stories of scented siberians?  Is it a trait worth breeding for?  
In our experience it is inheritable, but so far no children have had stronger 
fragrance than the parents.  We have not been putting a lot of energy into 
fragrance though, just taking potluck.
